Does this mean that the ETC is NOT part of the ECU, or has the Edit not had these parameters modified to suit.Thanks, AlanHey Alan, As dave- suggested above, the ETC needs to be recalibrated in order to work effectively with higher powered maps/torque reduction strategies removed.ETC is very much part of the ECU, and as Martin (Street Tuner) said, they are working on a fix (recalibration) for this at the moment.Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Road, Hmmmmmmmm.After a couple rainy days in Brisbane, I can tell you that it's very difficult to take the car for even a short drive without having the TC system switch itself off.Having said that, my tyres are not great either so that is also a factor.It will be good to get a fix for this though.....

hingston Member 22 Member For: 20y 5m 17d Location: Vic Posted 06/04/05 03:45 AM Share Posted 06/04/05 03:45 AM I wonder if anyone has heard of driving to the conditions ?? I had my edit fitted some time ago and in the rain on tram tracks the stratergy is to gently breathe on the accelerator when you want to take off. Any responsible upgrade needs to be balanced in this case by not only a perfomance upgrade but also tyres and probably brakes. The more you tune these cars the finer detail you need to pay attention to these items. 240rwkw on standard tyres , 3/4 worn are never going to even remotely grip in the wet and just get by in the dry.

System of car control..... learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the Edit the all round package it is capable of, not just 'go faster'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont remember anyone telling me when I bought the Edit " Hey, here's more power, and by the way, you now don't have traction control". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya got a $50K car....... Goes like a 80K+ car..Value for money????I thinkum so..If TC disables.... Drive more proficiently ...An accelerated dynamite silicon chip is not you momma......... And doesn't give a shat if you die...Use the mass thing sitting above your neck...Looks bad when it is opened but does a bloody good job of self preservation... Somebody once called it common sense, most people are common and most don't have sense...... Do the maths...You cannot expect a major engineering company to save your ass if you push thier product beyond it's boundaries............. TC OFF - Learn how to drive....
